Triumph (William MacIntyre) is a fictional superhero in the DC Comics universe whose first full appearance was in Justice League America #92 (August 1994). He was created by Brian Augustyn, Mark Waid, and Howard Porter, though the character is primarily associated with writer Christopher Priest.
Priest admitted that Triumph was partially based on DC Comics creative director Neal Pozner, who died just before Triumph's introduction, but knew about the character: "Triumph was always [proven] right... it was what made him so annoying to his fellow heroes… [He] was a gentle tuckerization of… Neal Pozner. Neal was, likely, the sharpest tool in the shed… [Neal] was always right. He was. At the end of the day, Neal would be proven right. That fact, more than anything else, annoyed many staffers beyond reason."
